Please use https://validator.w3.org/nu/ instead:

  https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https://primes.utm.edu/nthprime/

(I think the reason that site doesn’t work in https://validator.w3.org/ is
because it probably is a site that relies on SNI (Server Name Indication),
which https://validator.w3.org/ does not support.)

But https://validator.w3.org/nu/ does support SNI.
